What? There's an island of cookies? Where? ;-)

I freeze extras every time I make them - like you say, in a Ziploc
vacuum bag - BUT, don't let them "dry," whatever you mean by that -
just cool to room temp and seal them up. They last a long time with
no bad effects. Just don't vacuum the air out to the point of mashing
them all together.
